From what I have read the sonos speakers have a good reputation, sorry if my questions seem daft but I am after a dab+ radio that is compatable alongside the speakers. I am looking for a radio that not only can be used on the internet but also one that can be used on it's own ( in case the internet goes down) I would like to have the radio in say , the bedroom and then have sonos speakers in say, the kitchen and lounge playing the same music , so that my wife can have music all around the house,( I suppose a multi room system) , but if I am going to have decent speakers I would then like a decent radio to go with them. I don't think sonos make a radio as such but suggest plugging into a current one, whereasI would like a seperate set up.

My Internet connection is stable, but I do not have a smartphone, or ipad, just a laptop which is not always switched on, my impression was that you needed the sonos app to run it

All correct in general, and I see your point; except the need then to also have Sonos. Will you then fire up the laptop for that part of the set up whenever you want to use it?
Note also that there is one way to use Sonos directly, by leaving it on, loading a playlist or station via the app, and then using just the stop/start buttons on the body of the units - I do that often when I can't be bothered to first locate my smartphone or access/open the laptop.
The DAB radio stations will also be a very small subset of the ones available for free on the net. And you will not be able to access the many excellent ones provided by streaming services like Google/Apple.
